The former bodyguard of former Attorney General Anil Nandlall has been arrested as the police widen their probe into the March 10, 2015 murder of political activist, Courtney Crum-Ewing.
The former bodyguard has been identified as Rajput Narine. Although he worked as the bodyguard for the former Attorney General, he has been in the employ of the Guyana Revenue Authority since the May 11 elections.
Narine was arrested late yesterday afternoon as the police continue to question its main suspect, Regan Rodrigues aka Grey Boy.
Police investigators believe that the former bodyguard may have been the one to hire the hit-man who executed Crum-Ewing. Investigators are convinced that the hit-man was Reagan Rodrigues aka “Grey Boy”.
“Grey Boy” who is no stranger to law enforcement and was previously held in connection with at least two other executions, was arrested by the Police last week after he was found with an illegal weapon.
When ballistics tests were done on the weapon, it was realized that the same weapon was used to shoot Crum-Ewing dead. The political activist was shot five times. Three of those shots were to his head at close range. The other two shots were to his upper body.
Courtney Crum-Ewing was executed while using a loud hailer to encourage residents of Diamond to vote the PPP Civic out of office at the May 11 elections.
The political activist had protested for weeks outside the office of the Attorney General at the time, Anil Nandlall over a recorded telephone conversation between Nandlall and a Kaieteur News reporter in which Nandlall was heard making several disparaging remarks about a female reporter and also warned the Kaieteur News reporter to leave his job at the private media house because of the possibility of gunmen going there.
Crum-Ewing who was a schoolmate of Nandlall, picketed the Carmichael Street office daily calling on Nandlall to resign from office. Nandlall never resigned, but later tried to explain his remarks during the phone conversation.
The PPP lost the May 11 elections.
